don’t want to screw it up with you being around, being creepy. Go upstairs or I’ll give you another black-eye to match your right eye. You’re going to—”
The doorbell rang, stopping him. He stood up, fixing his clothes and hair.
The clacking of high heels on the hardwood floor hurt my ears as two girls rounded the corner and came into the living room. The older girl, wearing shorts and a belly-shirt, looked a little younger than Thaddeus. The girl with her, wearing a suspender skirt with one side down and a crooked ponytail, looked to be about my age. The younger one’s eyes glazed over as she stared at me.
“So…” The older girl walked over to me. “This is your cousin.” She bent down to see me. While she did, her boobs spilled out of her shirt. “He’s adorable.” She ruffled my hair like I was a dog.
I got up and tried to leave. Moving fast, she stood in my way and kept moving in front of me every time I tried to get away from her.
“Can you please move, ma’am?” I asked, my voice cracking, thanks to puberty.
“Ma’am?” She giggled. “Did you just call me ma’am? Aren’t you cute.” She pinched both of my cheeks with her too-long talons. “I’m Natalie, and that’s my sister, Tamala.” She nodded to the girl whose cheeks turned bright red when I looked at her. “Don’t you want to spend some time with me?”
“I have homework to do,” I answered.
Natalie touched my chin and made me jolt backward.
Thaddeus pounded his chest, trying to get Natalie’s attention. “Hey, I thought you were here to see me?”
“She’s only here because—” Natalie covered Tamala’s mouth, stopping her from speaking, while she shot her a look to make her shut up. Her sister looked down at the ground.
Natalie pushed me until I sat down on the couch. “Your father got some blow? I heard his warehouses are full of it.”
“I can get into the stash he keeps for his parties,” Thaddeus said.
“I didn’t ask you,” Natalie snapped. “I asked your brother.”
“I don’t want to get in trouble.“ I stood only for her to push me down again.
“Thad, your cousin is being a mood killer.” Natalie pointed at me and clucked her tongue. “Maybe you should make him feel welcome.”
Puffing out his cheeks and balling his fists, he punched his palm. “Fuck that kid.”
“You know what would be hot?” Natalie asked. “If you two kissed and made up. I think it might put me in a better mood.”
Nodding, Thaddeus smiled. “A better mood to do what?”
“I don’t know…” Natalie winked at me. “A blow job maybe.”
“I’ll go get the llelo,” Thaddeus said quickly.
Natalie sat next to me, almost on top of me, and wouldn’t top staring at me. “You must’ve really pissed someone off, cutie.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked, my voice cracking again.
“Oh, nothing.” She kicked her leg back and forth and shot an angry look at her sister, who stood in the middle of the living room.
When Thaddeus came back with the drugs and Natalie snorted a line of white powder up her nose, I tried to escape to my room.
“Don’t leave. I’ll keep you company,” Tamala grabbed my arm to stop me.
When I looked at her hand, she pulled it away and apologized. “What happened to your eye?”
“Nothing.” I shrugged. “I’m sorry. I just want to be alone.”
I couldn’t get comfortable in my bed. More people showed up downstairs and the noise made it hard to sleep.
I looked at my clock. It was 4:14 in the morning.
My door swung open hard and fast; it banged against the wall.
I jerked up in bed to see who it was. Thaddeus and Natalie were in the doorway.
Sighing, I rubbed my eyes. “Just leave me alone, all right?”
Thaddeus marched up to my bed, and without warning, punched me in the mouth. My entire face throbbed in pain. I clutched it without saying a word to him.
I was so scared, I didn’t fight when he flipped me over and pinned my arms to
